Abstract

Since the invention of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in 1982, the addition of high time resolution to STM has been the most challenging issue, and various time-resolved STM (TR-STM) methods have been considered and developed (Terada et al. in J Phys Condens Matter 22:264008–264015, 2010, Loth et al. in Science 329:1628–1630, 2010 [1, 2]).
